REEEIaIOTs INDIANS.
San Carlos Scouts Fire Upon Capt Pierce and Al ScIber. The latter Danger
 OusIy Wounded.

The news of another Indian emeut,
 at San Carlos, and the serious wound ing of Al. Seiber, chief of scouts, whicI
 was brought to Globe by an Indiar
 courier on Thursday morning, caused
 great indignation and regret here.
 The first report current was that {
 number of Indian scouts had been CT
 tiswin drunk and an attempt wal
 made to arrest them on Wednesday
 afternoon about five o'clock. SeveraI
 of them had been disarmed and or.
 dered to the guard-house, when others
 who had not given up their guns, be-
 gan frlng-their design being, evi-
 dently, to kill Seiber, who was shot just below the knee. The Indians recovered the weapons which they had laid down, and broke for the noun tains in the direction of Apache.
 Selber's wound was considered so serious that amputatiou was deemed probably necessary, and the courier was dispatched to Globe fer Dr. Davis who had come up from the Agency the day before. The Doctor, accompanied by Hal McNellt, started Thursday forenoon for San Carlos.
 Communication by telegraph be- tween San Carlos and Globe was cut off at about the time the trouble oc- cured or soon thereafter, so that only the meagre information brought by the courier was received here until Thursday evening, when the mail car rier arrived bringing further news of the affair, but not a full account of the deplorable occurrence.
 Another version of the trouble, as contained in private, is in effect, that scout named Kid" who was 1st ser geant, and four of his brothers, also scouts, who had left the Agency few days previous, returned Wednesday evening and asked to have talk with Capt. Pierce, Agent, and Al. Seiber, at. Seiber'S tent. Upon the appearance of the Captain, Seiber and two inter- preters, the Indian scouts fired upon them and then ran. Sieber was the only one injured and he was shot twice through the left leg below the knee, the bone being badly shattered. The Indians left in the direction of Apache.
 There are different reports as to their number. The five scouts who instigated the revolt were Joined by other Indians, all from the San Carlos tribe, variously estimated at from five To thirteen.
 In the excitement which would, ob- 7iously, prevail at the Agency, it is possible that the gravity.of the situa- 5ion and the number of Indians that nave gone out has been overestima- ed. At least it is to be hoped that -he mutiny will spread no further, md that Arizona will be spared a rep ,tition of the horrible butcheries per oetrated by the Chiricahuas during ieneral Crooks incumbency as com nander of this department.
 Agent F. E. Pierce kindly favored IS with the following particulars of A Indian trouble, over the wire yes .rL 'ay afternoon:
